i like this book of tongue-in-cheek comments abt vices and such, so i'll quote the book, and share some of my favourite, categorised in vices (in other words, plagiarise). (:

1. DRINK

what is said when drunk has been thought out beforehand. ~Flemish proverb

wine: give a man none and he cannot find truth; give him too much, and the same happens. ~Blaise Pascal

chronic and inescapable sobriety is a most horrible affliction. ~Aldous Huxley

there is a terrible sameness in the euphoria of alcohol and the euphoria of metaphor - the sense that the imagination is boundless. ~John Cheever

2. FLIRTING

the only way of knowing someone is to love them without hope. ~Walter Benjamin

3. FOOD

love and gluttony justify everything. ~Oscar Wilde

4. LUST

eros is the youngest of the gods. he is also the most tired. ~Natalie Barney

5. READING

the most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust. ~Samuel Butler II

6. SEDUCTION

most virtue is a demand for greater seduction. ~Natalie Barney



unfortunately, the haze is killing us all. and tests are killing me. please remind me what i'm doing in school..
